Answer 2

Answer:

=> $\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}$

We have to simplify the above expression:

In order to solve this type of expression first of all we have to find the LCM:

$=> \frac{1\times 4}{2\times 4}+\frac{-1\times 2}{4\times 2} +\frac{5}{8}$

Now, multiply the terms in the numerator and the denominator:

$=> \frac{4}{8}+\frac{-2}{8}+\frac{5}{8}$

Combining the fractions we get:

$=> \frac{4+(-2)+5}{8}$

Add all the terms in the numerator,

$=> \frac{7}{8}$

Hence, the simplified value is $\frac{7}{8}$.
